>It is so hard to create a popular thread about Overwatch
Are you fucking retarded, /v/ has become overwatch general waifu edition

Nah man, its blizzard' shills from the future and alternate universes who make posts like that. Actual™, genuine™ posters like me, of course, just want to discuss the game! Ughhh, why its so hard to talk to REAL people who are not shills?

there's fuck all to talk about that hasnt been said in the last 5000 threads

4chan isn't even worth marketing on.

They would waste a dollar of their billions to hire somebody to shill in this shithole. Stop being so deluded.

The majority of 4chan will shittalk the game, and still buy it.

/v/ loves to be cancerous, but never take it to heart. It's just >>>/b/ .2

the only thing 4chan does these days is get people to bitch about a game on social media and turn it into an sjw war, and not even game companies want to be defended by those hardcore sjw crowds, because then they have to start making bland characters and transgender gays

>viral marketing is delusional

You are an absolute fucking moron if you don't think this is how advertising works nowadays, particularly because it costs nothing at all relatively

You can find Overwatch adverts in all mediums, be it through cable, the internet, or in reality

Alternatively you could just not be autistic and be able to discern a difference in formatting and tone to see blatant shilling

4chan is worth marketing on, but its hard to evaluate the results. Clients don't care about shit you've done if you can't evaluate how a specific post affected the sales or the public image. Anonymous boards do not provide the statistics of the userbase. That's why I assume SOME companies shill, but only by creating threads themselves, since then you can at least post results and make some basic analysis. Its money we are talking about about, nobody cares about your shitposting patterns, if you cant even make an excel out of it. Basically every agency can and do market online, pretending to be users. Remember those images about how an agency shapes public perception online? Everyone in the industry does it.

t. Some faggot who works in full cycle agency.

Why not go to the /vg/ thread?

/v/ is not important.

YOU, are not important.

Nobody cares about this shithole or the autistic retards who infest it.

/v/ could be deleted and every one of it's stupid posted killed and no video game related business would bat an eye. The most any would do is laugh.

>/v/ is not important
True, but a lot of people visit /v/

>YOU, are not important.
True, but no agency targets a specific individual online. It's hard to differentiate the target audience on /v/, since some people here are indiefags, some play AAA, some are weeaboos etc., but all of the people on /v/ play video games and it's far more specific than targeting just general target audiences, so it's worth a shot.

>Nobody cares about this shithole or the autistic retards who infest it.
Nobody cares and nobody exploits are 2 different concepts

>/v/ could be deleted and every one of it's stupid posted killed and no video game related business would bat an eye
Nobody would bat an eye if gaming subreddit was deleted. Or neofag, or whatever. They are just generic gaming platforms with a lot of people visiting them. In the grand scheme of things they are interchangeable. If you think that marketing agencies don't know what popular platforms are, you're fucking retarded. We all know you faggots.

>>338135072
Are you a fucking idiot, large forums like this are much more than the amount of people that visit it (which is still considerable)

That's because unlike an ad, forums actually discuss things or at the very least spread memes, it is worth it to try to influence it positively

Blizzard already does it with YT and Twitch

It's completely illogical to think that viral marketing isn't a very real and useful advertising strategy

/v/ desperately trying to convince itself that it's totally a big important market and all the gaming companies try to advertise here because they just want them so much reminds me of some fat ugly girl in a high school convincing herself that she's actually the hottest chick around and all the guys totally want to fuck her but she's too good for them and that's why she's alone.

Just FYI, viral marketing is not the same thing as making copy pasted responses and threads. Shilling on forums and making hype is not viral marketing by itself, but it can be a part of viral marketing campaign.
